Daily Grind // Alex Duetto

I had a pretty exciting thing happen in my life… my dream came true of finally owning a commercial-grade machine. I know that seems sort of insignificant in the grand scheme of life, but I’ve been saving up for it all year, and it’s been rough to say the least… Well, I can now say [...]

Daily Grind // Aeropress Coffee

The mokapot originally sparked my intrigue for coffee-making, and led to my eternal fascination for all of the various brewing methods there are available to experiment with. Really though, I’m very much an espresso type-of-gal… So when I learned that the Aeropress by Aerobi was as close to espresso as you can get (short of [...]

A Date And Love Affair

I know that I mention it a lot, but it’s quite difficult documenting fashion with children.. maybe we’re just too nervous about the little things, but our old routines just don’t cut it any more. And more than that, Ayla has been sick so much recently we felt she shouldn’t be taken out this week… [...]

If you’re currently on a journey of coffee/espresso-making (we might as well say here, self-discovery *snort*), then it won’t take long before you start considering coffee grinders, if you haven’t already. Grinding your own coffee beans is the most important step in brewing a tasty cup of jo, since ground coffee begins losing flavor after [...]

Daily Grind // Mypressi

Trying to develop my skill for espresso-making began with the same journey and desire to make the perfect Café Latte. I’ve always ordered the same thing: A classic Caramel Latte, and I’m quite sure that’s what I’ll always order until I am a little old woman. Well, we all know how outrageously expensive those types [...]

Daily Grind // Homemade Latte

The Cafe Latte, a classic Italian coffee drink that is 1 part espresso, 1 part milk and 1 part foam (latte actually meaning “milk” in Italian). I briefly brushed upon making a latte with one of my earlier posts on coffee (with a moka pot). I’d like to start documenting, or rather, sharing my endeavors [...]

Sweet Sundays // Mocha Frappe

I seriously can drink hot coffee just about any time of the day, but an iced coffee really is refreshing in this debilitating heat. The thing is, they are just so darn expensive from any coffee shop… (they really add up fast). So I was bound determined to save myself some money yet again and [...]

Daily Grind // I love You, Moka Pot

If you haven’t noticed the endless references to my abnormal addiction to lattes before, you’ll soon learn that I am obsessed over a good cup of frothed milk and a single shot of espresso… with a bit of caramel and whipped cream on top, and a sweet cake or pumpkin loaf to go with? I’m [...]
